Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Fu Shen Alcohol Free is a single-ingredient liquid supplement containing poria mushroom sclerotia (the dense, cork-like fruiting body) with hostwood extract. The product uses glycerin and water as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Poria Mushroom product and its label doesn't state a use — see Poria Mushroom's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The effectiveness of poria mushroom for any of its traditional uses — cancer, chronic fatigue, dementia, diabetes, diabetic kidney disease, or diarrhea — is not established in the data we hold. All of these conditions show insufficient evidence to rate its benefit.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Poria Mushroom

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Poria mushroom is generally well tolerated based on its long history in traditional use, but human safety data are limited. Rarely, allergic reactions have been reported, including allergic rhinitis (hay fever-like symptoms) and allergic asthma.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Poria Mushroom

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Poria Mushroom.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 417 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you start Fu Shen Alcohol Free, double-check your exact medications with the search tool on this page — especially if you take sedatives or other CNS depressants, anticholinergic drugs, or cholinergic drugs. The interactions documented are theoretical (based on animal research) but worth verifying.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may appeal to someone exploring traditional herbal remedies for chronic conditions, but the evidence for its effectiveness isn't established. If you take any sedative, anticholinergic, or cholinergic medication, check with your pharmacist first.

Avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Fu Shen Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Fu Shen Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Fu Shen Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 417 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Fu Shen Alcohol Free contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is poria mushroom and why is it in this product?
Poria mushroom is a fungus used in traditional herbal medicine. It's the active ingredient in Fu Shen Alcohol Free, included for its traditional uses in supporting overall wellness — though the evidence for those uses isn't established in our data.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against it during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know if it's safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
Can this cause allergic reactions?
Allergic reactions are rare, but they've been reported — including allergic rhinitis (hay fever-like symptoms) and allergic asthma. If you have a history of mushroom allergies or mold sensitivities, mention this product to your pharmacist.
Does poria mushroom actually work for the conditions it claims to help?
The evidence we hold shows insufficient data to rate its effectiveness for cancer, chronic fatigue, dementia, diabetes, diabetic kidney disease, or diarrhea. It's a traditional remedy, but modern research hasn't confirmed its benefits.
What does 'alcohol free' mean on the label?
It means this liquid extract is made without alcohol as a solvent or preservative — instead it uses glycerin and water. That makes it a gentler option if you avoid alcohol or can't tolerate it.
